Vlad can be yours for a pick in the 15th round.
Will Venable can be had for a pick in the 20th round.

I just saw that Texas has announced Webb’s one year deal (and passed physical). Detroit is built to compete this year, so I’m willing to send Webb packing for a middle round draft pick (or SS or 3B). Best draft pick offer gets him. So if you’re not expecting to be a major contender this year and want to take a chance on this former stud, let me know.
Also willing to deal Joba Chamberlain to any Yankees fans.
Mike (acting manager) – Detroit.

One of them still available. Or do the Blues really want to see Dunn attempt the OF again!

The Longfellows, having rectified their pitching surplus “issue,” have now created an OF surplus. One or two of the following need to be swapped for useful bits (or picks):
Vlad Guerrero – .300/.345/.496 overall, 122 OPS+
Travis Snider – 21 yo. In between injuries, flurries of mashing: .255/.310/.473 v R. Ex power
Will Venable – 26 yo. Vg OF, 29 SB (Ex Steal), .259/.334/.429 v R (strict platoon player – so no need for worrying about PAs v. lefties.
Talk to me, people.

This team is clearly not really built to win in 2010. The immediately expendable players are as follows:
Carl Pavano: 221 IP, 32 GS, 3.75 ERA, 111 ERA+, 1.195 WHIP
Brad Ziegler: 60 IP, 3.26 ERA, 128 ERA+, 1..35 WHIP
Seeking picks and youth to strengthen a core 12.

Now that I’ve been assigned the Blues (this will be a Blacks and Blues season, no doubt) and I’ve been allowed to help the team by trading I’ve got the obvious problem to move either Adam Dunn or Prince Fielder, near statistical if not physical twins.
The Blues are looking for the following positions: 2B, SS, LF, C.
